1. You CAN fill in a text box of a PDF template from a web application. I do it using the FDF toolkit and submit a form to the web server to fill itself.
Correct, given the limitations of FDF usage...(browser & platform incompatibilities, no support for frames, no support for PDA's, etc.)
2. When you save a PDF locally, you are only saving the PDF, not the form data within. Think of the form data as an overlay. Now, if you close Acrobat Reader after having filled in the form, and then open up Acrobat Reader again and load the same form, Reader will load the form from the local buffer copy, which means the contents of the form data will also reappear.
ONLY IF you viewed the PDF in the browser, you view it AGAIN in the browser, AND your data cache is configured in a particular way. For the majority of users out there - this doesn't work.
